Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Perry.
There are days In the existence of
bumanB engaged in the nefarious oc
cupation of grinding out what you are
now gawking at, when the noodle will
not function, and there is nothing to
grind. It is now 10:31, and approxi
mately 14 inches to go, as the Ford
rattles, and the crow flies. But there
is a shortage of quips, and the jest
dies on the typewriter keys. And then
on the other hand, there are rare
times when the allotted task is con
structed with the ease of erecting a
henhouse, where a better building
really ought to be.
In scurrying through a score or more
of state journals, most of whom are
still terrorized, there was gleaned no
thrilling item, with twisted words to
add to the gayety of the nations, ex
cept one lone mention, in the Klamath
Falls Herald, to-wlt:

is no political significance attached to
the, observance of tho occasion. Per
haps you remember Charles Dickons'
"Tale of Two Cities," and Madamo
LaFarge who novor missed attendance
at a head decapitating function, and
there were plenty of them.
There are the cavortlngs of the
Chinese bandits. Once upon a tlmo
two Chinamen, across the Pacific
ocean from their nativo hoath, went to
law for $50. Learned counsel scoldod
each other and tho witnessos all nfter
' noon. The jury brought in a verdict
of 60.75 for the plaintiff. The plain
tiff later mado the following final ro
port: "Me kotchum alovonty-flve sclents.

THE TRUTH
THE OREGON VOTER has performed a f?emiine service to the
people of this state,' by a statistical analysis of tho tax situa
tion. During the last campaign, and subsequently, tho statement has
lieen repeatedly 'made that Oregon is the worst tax-ridden state in
the country. Such talk has injured tho state seriously. Tho Oregon
Voter shows such statements to be absolutely false.
. The tax increase in Oregort from 1912 to 1021 was much less than
the average increase among tho states in the union, in fact only
one stute, New York, has held down taxation as well as this one.
The increase in Oregon for '.exam'ple was 96' per cent, ,whilo the
nverage increase of 30 states was 144 per cent. In Washington the in
crease was 101 per cent; in Idaho, 207 per cent; Utah and Montana,
l'2 per cent; California,, 142 per cent, and Wyoming, 324 per cent.
Tho Oregon Voter also shows that only 13 1-2 per cent of the taxes
ithis year are for. state purposes, 86' 1-2 being for, county and local
purposes, and over 95 per cent of the property taxes were voted by
the people, or levied by the various
In Jackson county the report shows the total county and loanl
tax to bo 1 ,037,872, the state tax $242,09G or a total of $1,279,908.
In other words over 80 per cent of the tax is the local tax, less than
1!) per cent a state tax.
From this report it is again clearly demonstrated how little any
legislature or governor can do in the business of tax reduction. When
it is realized, moreover, that nearly 40 per cent of tho local taxes are
for schools, ,and nearly 15 per cent for roads, that we still need more
and better schools and more and better roads, the futility of expect
ing any radical reduction in taxes unless we are willing to go back
wards as a community, becomes an indisputable and unavoidable fact.

CHICAGO, May 12. (By Associated
Press). As the major league baseball
season nears the end of its fourth
week, all the pre-openlng predictions,
with a slight reservation on the Phila
delphia Athletics in the American and
on the Cincinnati Reds in the Nation
al, are holding truer to form than in
many years.
The New York 'Yankees are being
fought desperately by Cleveland and
Detroit for leadership in the junior
circuit and the New York Giants are
out in front In the National with Pitts
burg leading the wake. The failure
of the Chicago White Sox might be
taken as a failure of the experts, but
predictions concerning the Sox were
largely hedged "by "ifs."
Pittsburg comes to the Polo grounds
today with a chance to shorten the
lead of the Giants. The Robins won
yesterday 7 to 6. .
The Giants have lost only six of
their 23 games, They defeated the
Chicago Cubs ,Jn two out of throe
games, taking the rubber game, 7 to 4,
The Boston Braves shook off tho
jinx of tho one-run margin losses by
trimming Cincinnati 6 to 4. Detroit
now has the opportunity to do what
Cloevlnnd failed to do this week by
trlmnj)ng the Yankees. The Tigers
lost to Washington again 4 to 1 end
Toll back into a second place tie with
Cleveland whose game with the Yan
kees was called off because of rain.
The Philadelphia Athletics lost the
final game to the Browns, 14 to 3.
Boston nnd Chicago were prevented
from playing byrain.
